Dr. Glover argues that these men have learned to suppress their needs, desires, and emotions, which leads to frustration, resentment, and a lack of authentic relationships. The book offers practical advice on how to break free from the "Nice Guy" syndrome by embracing one's true self, setting...
It is impossible that the rulers now on earth should make any benet, or derive any the least shadow of authority from that, which is held to be the fountain of all power, Adam’s private dominion and paternal jurisdiction; so that he that will not give just occasion to think that all government in the world is the product only of force and violence, and that men live together by no other rules but that of beasts, where the strongest carries it, and so lay a foundation for perpetual disorder and mischief, tumult, sedition and rebellion, (things that the followers of that hypothesis so loudly...

Mark Twain once observed, “A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on.” His observation rings true: Urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus public-health scares circulate effortlessly.

And how do we improve the chances of worthy ideas? In Made to Stick, accomplished educators and idea collectors Chip and Dan Heath tackle head-on these vexing questions. Inside, the...

The importance of the work of Charles Darwin for the development of anthropology is difficult to overestimate. They do not come down to the well-known formula: "Man descended from a monkey." The undoubted significance of Darwin's work is that he generalized the neontological evidence of animal origin of man. Darwin is the author of the simial concept of anthropogenesis, which provides numerous evidence of the biological and behavioral similarities of modern humans and other primates. The scientist has advanced far in the analysis of the mechanisms of anthropogenesis, rightly believing that...

Russell is one of the most paradoxical philosophers who believed that the essence of philosophy is a logical analysis, and it combines science, religion and everyday consciousness. He is the founder of English neorealism, “logical atomism” as a form of neopositivism. B. Russell did not...

"Man, Past and Present" was called "openly racist," and later the publication was revised by Alison Hingston Quiggin, who removed some of the extreme allegations....
